Three Long-Term Investments in Latin America

Technically, a recession is when an economy has two consecutive quarters of negative growth. Is the US technically in a recession? Maybe, maybe not, but it sure feels like one. This lackluster growth rate has caused many investors to begin to look overseas to earn greater returns.

Two areas of solid growth are Latin and South America. These regions are seeing this strong growth mainly due to strong commodity prices, and the increasing "Middle-Class Expansion". Sure, there is a strong tie to the US economy, and they likely haven't fully "de-coupled" as many have hoped. However, the link is not as strong as it once was, due to global expansion and shouldn't weigh down these regions much more than it already has.
